The freak October storm that hit western Montana and brought record cold and snow just happened to coincide with the first weekend of general rifle season in Montana.
The wolf hunting season has become so popular in the northwest part of the state, that Montana Fish, Wildlife and Parks is asking to expand the season starting next year in Region One.
Every year sees a new generation of hunters take to the mountains and plains of Montana, and those new hunters need the proper training and instruction, not just for safety, but to truly enjoy the outdoor experience.
The Montana Department of Fish, Wildlife and Parks is reporting a close to average success rate for hunters during the first week of general deer and elk season.
